Chapter 266: His precious boss
When Penny jumped into her car, she couldn’t help but click her tongue in irritation. Her brief exchange with Dean annoyed her more than all the things Benjamin had said to her.
Dean was truly like a splinter in her throat.
He was the only person she couldn’t get rid of in her life, even if she wanted to. But thinking about it, Dean wasn’t as nosy as he had been when they were new recruits on Professor Singh’s team. As they grew older, he would check up on her from time to time and bother her a bit, but he wouldn’t go out of his way to meddle in her business.
But today, he had gone out of his way again.
"I don’t buy that he’s jealous. Tss. But he did seem worried and concerned. Is Zoren Pierson really that bad?" she murmured to herself, frowning. "Well, he has an annoying personality, but I don’t see why Dean is so wary of him."
Not that she could judge so soon. However, based on earlier events, Zoren had at least had the courtesy to apologize.
Her face twitched as she thought about his lame excuse. "Flirting with me? Hah. He should’ve at least made it sound believable. He could’ve said he didn’t see me because I’m small... no, wait."
Penny squinted, recalling his abnormally dilated pupils. Not just yesterday, but she had noticed it earlier, too.
"Did he really not see me there?" she wondered, as that would explain the man’s actions. "But how?"
Does he have bad eyesight? If so, then his eyesight was definitely worse than one would expect to miss a grown-up person right in front of him. Moreover, Penny didn’t feel any discomfort despite the close proximity between them.
Why? Because she didn’t sense any malice from him.
In other words, from her perspective, it didn’t seem like Zoren Pierson was actually how other people described him.
